¶ Introduction
The “OpenWrt One/AP-24.XY” router board based on MediaTek MT7981B (Filogic 820) SoC and MediaTek MT7976C dual-band WiFi 6 chipset.It is the first official development board of the OpenWRT open source community
OpenWrt One is a device based on the MediaTek Filogic 820 SoC that has WiFi 6, dual-band, 3×3/2×2, 1 x 2.5Gbit WAN, 1 x 1Gbit LAN, 1GB DDR4 RAM, 256 MiB NAND, 16 MiB NOR, M.2 SSD and USB 2.0.
OpenWrt One uses Mediatek’s MT7981B SoC with a dual-arm Cortex-a53 core at 1.3 GHz, 1 GB DDR4 RAM and 256 MiB SPI NAND storage. It also integrates 16 MiB of additional protected storage as a system backup, dual storage hardware to ensure that the onboard system is unbrickable, and finally integrated M.2. 2230/2242 NVMe PCIe 2 X1 ports can be used to add external storage. And with a battery holder for an internal clock, OpenWrt One offers a USB 2.0 Type-A and a mikroBUS expansion port to provide more interfaces to a host of technical possibilities
OpenWrt One is the first board design with OpenWrt opensource communtity.and designed in collaboration with Banana Pi that will also handle manufacturing and distribution of the router board. The OpenWrt One/AP-24.XY router should provide a source of income for the project, for example, to cover the cost of hosting and OpenWrt conferences, with Banana Pi selling the board through their distribution network, and for every device sold, donating to the Software Freedom Conservancy (SDC) with the funds earmarked for OpenWrt.

¶ Development
¶ Preparation
-
Three antennas
-
USB flash drive or other USB storage devices
-
PD15V power adapter
-
USB Type C to Type A Cable
-
Ethernet cable
¶ bootstrap setting
| Please choose NAND for regular use. NOR is applicable to "recovery". |
This switch enables the system to start from either NAND or NOR.
The up position of the dip switch indicates NAND, while the down position indicates NOR.
¶ Debug Console
-
Use Type A to convert to Type C for debugging
-
Using your USB-Serial cable(3.3V TTL,Baud=115200) Connect to debug console on BPI-OpenWrt One G=GND; RX=BPI-OpenWrt One input; TX=BPI-OpenWrt One output
¶ Flashing image
-
Prepare a FAT32 format USB drive containing the following files:
-
Please turn off the power of the equipment.
-
Insert the USB drive that contains the two files to the TypeA.
-
Set the bootstrap to NOR.
-
Press and hold the USER button on the front(The buttons on the side with the Type A interface).
-
Connect the power supply and start the equipment.
-
Wait for the LED to turn green.
-
Simply release the USER button and the burning process will be completed successfully.
| If that doesn’t work, then try another formatted storage option. Rename the file as: |
openwrt-mediatek-filogic-openwrt_one-snand-preloader.bin
openwrt-mediatek-filogic-openwrt_one-factory.ubi
| If the system is successfully booted in, there will be this log. |
